Chandigarh: Upset over the "leakage" of his report on Babri Masjid demolition, Justice (retd) Manmohan Singh Liberhan today said he was not a "characterless" person who will hand it over to the media.
"I will not speak on the report. If the report is with the media, then go and find out from where the media got it and who provided the report," a visibly angry Liberhan told reporters at his residence in sector nine here.
When it was pointed out that the opposition had been alleging that the report was "selectively leaked" and asked whether it was leaked from "his side", Liberhan said, "let the opposition say anything, but what do you mean by this?
"Don't challenge my character...get lost," a perturbed Liberhan, who lost his cool, said.
"I am not a person who is accessible to you (media)...I don't want to talk about it," he said.
"I am not that characterless a person that I will hand over the report to the media before being placed in Parliament," Liberhan said.
A newspaper report claimed that the one-man Liberhan Commission, which probed the December 6, 1992 demolition, had indicted former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Leader of Opposition L K Advani and BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi among others for the incident.

The Liberhan Report would no doubt be one of merit due to the long labour that went into it. While the report has not yet been tabled in the Parliament and we have only a leaked portion in the press, the supposed comment by the commission that the Ram Janmabhoomi movement was not supported by the Hindus at large appears to be a conclusion that does not seem borne out by facts. They very fact that BJP swept to power in UP from a position of negligible presence is proof enough that the movement and its success had widespread Hindu participation. Anyway, I hope the Report would contain the criteria by which the eminent Justice formed the opinion that Ram Janmabhoomi movement was not a mass movement.
